Getting this tonight

I've got this on the naughty side so it dont let me play multiplayer..... anyone ever play multiplayer?

 

[Darren S]

Got to spend some monies soon to fill up my new PC.

Got Farcry3 for free on the way hopefully.

Cant decide if I want Hitman or not?? Going to get both the recent Fallouts too.

Whats Mass effect 2 like?

Mass Effect 2 is superb. Worth buying ME1 though and blitzing through - just so the characters and backdrop to ME2 make more sense.

Noticed that Borderlands 2 is on the sale at £14.99. Worth every single penny.....

[MikeoftheQuays]

ME1 is still enjoyable IMO. It has aged well. I bought ME1 and ME2 earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed both.

Alan Wake worth a punt? £7.74.

Bought it in the last sale. Still not tried it!

[Sargara]

I managed to pickup the Skyrim DLC, Dawnguard and Hearthfire for under £9. Gives me an excuse to reinstall and continue my 100'ish hour character

 

[Wilkeh]

Think I'm going to spend a good £40 tonight and load up. Will keep me busy over the winter months.

 

[Wilkeh]

Well, picked up Alan Wake and The Witcher 2. Heard good things about Witcher, never played the first one though. Think it's quite a hungry game so gives me the chance to properly test this system out.

It is m8. With all bells & whistles on, my SLi'd GTX460's barely creep out of single figures in terms of fps at 1920x1200.

If you leave ubersampling off its fine.

It's not really a practical option! something like 32x MSAA or something lol.

I managed to use it though. ;D. Well worth it if it's in the sale though, brilliant game.

Just booted it up for a try. Ultra settings with UberSampling off I average 85fps with highs of 105. With UberSampling on I average 32fps with highs of 45. Massive mouse lag with the UberSampling though, even with V-Sync disabled.

 

[Darren S]

Trine 2 for £3 until the 10th December. Videos can be seen at the bottom of this page....

Yep - the wallet's gonna take a bashing again.

That said, yesterday's offerings were average at best.

[Damo_Sport]

So what we got atm? Anything good? i recently picked up Farming Simulator 2013 for £9.99 a few weeks back when it was on 50% offer there.. it seems the offer is back on

 

[richd]

steam sales hurting my wallet :rasp:

 

[iain187]

just bought a couple of games and noticed -


you can now install games to the hard drive of your choice...


wooooooohoooooo

 

[Wilkeh]

Been able to for a while mate, you just had to participate in the beta under the settings.

 

[McGherkin]

Just bought the Simbin mega bundle. I hate steam sales.

Probably going to end up with TDU2 as well.

 

[Robbeh]

Natural Selection 2. Absolute bargain and a quality game.

Yeh its been a while since I've bought anything but now I fear I will buy more haha

 

[Wilkeh]

Well, just picked up Sleeping Dogs, Orcs must Die 2, Serious Sam 3 and The Walking Dead. All for £31.

 

[Darren S]

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition is only a mere £2.49 at the minute. Well, well worth it if you've not tried it before.

D.

 

[John Gordon]

this week i shall be mostly shooting.... Aliens.

Let me know how that goes. REALLY keen on it. Loved the alien campaign in the previous AvP game

Cheers for the heads up, I'll get on this. Absolutely loved Arkham City but never got around to playing Asylum.

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

Got FTL, SPAZ and Torchlight 2 in the sales.

Only played FTL so far and gotten hopelessly addicted. What a cracking little game. Like a spaceship management game really. Proper nerdy thrills transferring more power to my shields, teleporting boarding parties onto the enemy ship and spending a fortune on a cloaking device. It's a game that you could run on an Amiga but it's still great fun. Quite refreshing from the likes of BF3, Skyrim etc etc. A huge bargain at £3.50 as well IMO.

FTL is a cracking game - but I wish it could be just a 'tad' easier. It's very unforgiving and at times a little frustrating because of it.

D.

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

Oh it's f**king brutal. I play it on "Easy" and have still ragequite several times. I keep going back to it though!

 

[Caekii]

I've been using Steam for years. Just got Arma 2 and the Operation Arrowhead expansion, mainly so I could play the Dayz mod which is excellent btw even if it is a tad buggy (what do you expect from a beta mod)

I fully expect to buy Arma 3 and the new Dayz thats touted as being released as a standalone game using the Arma 3 engine.

FTL is awesome, I dont own it myself but I played it at a friends house and was hooked in about 10mins.

 

[Darren S]

Mark of The Ninja is on for £3.99 until the 4th March.....

[Jonnio]

Downloaded I Am Alive this morning, really enjoying it. £4.41 for another 29 hours.

[Darren S]

Euro Truck Simulator 2 for £12.49 at the minute.....

D.

 

[Darren S]

Titan Quest Gold is back on for the next 4 hours at £3.75. Well worth it if you want a Diablo-type dungeon hack game.

D.

 

[Cookie]

GTA complete pack is also back up for 7.50 again I think

 

[Darren S]

Orcs Must Die 2 for £2.99 at the minute....

D.

 

[Darren S]

Bad Company 2 for £3.74 for the next 6 hours. Better than BF3 imo....

D.

 

[rdoxenham]

Yeah I picked up Bad Company 2 yesterday, although the frame rates are much worse than I get with BF3!

 

[Addicted]

Not as optimized I guess!

 

[rdoxenham]

Or maybe it can't make use of Crossfire? I don't know much about video drivers and how applications are able to make use of them. I have two pretty poor cards, together they are relatively good, but if just one then I suspect this is the root of my problems!
